To nl] '1r/0m it may concern f Be itkno-ajn that I, Conan-Guy Dimm, a citizen of the United States, residing` at Pittsfield. in the county of Berkshire and Sta-te of Massachusetts, have invented cer.

tain new and useful Improvements in Vis-. inn-Lenses for' Automobile-Drivers, of

A; further object of this invenztioiris to construct thele'ns supports-that thelr lower.

ends are held lirrnly against the glass vrindshield by the. inherent s supports themselves" Other .and 'more speciie objects of the in'- vention will nppearfrom the following de scripti'on.

bent into VA6,5 The upper ends of thev supports A are eonnecfted'fto the loops by a'n inward bend 3,

while their lower ends have an inward bend termina-ting in a fia; end 5, which is provided with a rubber button 6, to'engage the gla` face of the windshield The loops 1 of the *sup'ao'rts are clamv d Y firmly to the windshield a thumb Serew 7, havingra rubber inner end 8.'
